The Pastry 5 occurrence is located near a logging road junction, southwest of the Adam River and approximately 1.5 kilometres east-northeast of Rooney Lake.

The area to the west of the Adam River is underlain mainly by the upper part of the Triassic Karmutsen Formation, comprising mainly thick massive flows with local intercalations of amygdaloidal basalt and pods of autoclastic breccias, pillowed and massive flows with thin intercalations of volcaniclastic and limy sandstones, all cut by thin dolerite/gabbro sills.

Locally, an epidotized felsite brecciated basalt hosts magnetite veins, disseminated sulphides and malachite staining. In 2004, sampling yielded up to 0.9 per cent copper and 3.3 grams per tonne silver, while a nearby talus boulder assayed 4.8 per cent copper and 14.6 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 27463).

Work History

During 2004 through 2013, M. Schau completed programs of prospecting, geological mapping and rocks sampling on the area as the Pastry 2-5 claims of the Kringle property. In 2018, Crest Resources Inc. completed a program of prospecting, geochemical (rock and soil) sampling, trenching and a 24.0 line-kilometre ground electromagnetic survey on the area as the Red Metal Ridge property.
